Tom Holland tries out Uncharted game

shareIt's been my observation that these jobbing actors have never EVER "read the book" or "watched the TV show" or "played the videogame" for the franchises that they have become part of, they don't give a damn otherwise, they're just in it for the paycheques.
Not all of them are like that. Many have played the games or read the books or are nerds. I remember Henry Cavill talking about playing Warcraft and Witcher games.
shareIt's also been my observation that most actors who are picked for these movie adaptations are totally unsuited to the role. Tom Holland looks like a teenage boy compared to the protagonist of these games! Too young! I expect an Indiana Jones-like character to at least LOOK like Harrison Ford in his 30s!
This Drake movie was set before Drake's Fortune hence the post-credit so I can let it slide based on youth but other than that, I agree since the next sequel will most likely be Uncharted 1 but with the same baby face looking Tom.

He may have the same genetic condition I do, as to looking much younger than they actually are. I turn 50 this year, yet the many people I ask about my age (out of curiosity) say I look up to 10 years younger than I am!
The drake movie basically replaces the Uncharted 2 plot, so by that time Drake should be much older.
shareCavill is a straight up actual nerd though. And clearly takes his craft seriously and puts in the work
shareYeah I wasn't a fan of him being Geralt, but the fact he played through ALL the games and read the books and really tried to embody Geralt because he was an actual fan of the property made me nod respectfully in his direction.
It's a shame The Witcher was butchered by the woke Netflix showrunner, though.
Yeah. I've seen that a lot in comic adaptions. They always say they didn't read any of them as they wanted their own, nuanced interpretation of the character.
Well, numbnuts. Your film/TV show might not have bombed if you had actually done some research on the character rather than just presenting some mutilated version that your brain came up with.
Well, kudos to Jon Bernthal for actually going out and reading select Punisher comic books (curated to him by some nerds in a comic book store) because he said he really wanted to do justice to the character. I think he did a fantastic job capturing the animalistic and brutal nature of Frank Castle, it's just a shame that the writers didn't actually put his character in a show that was themed around what the Punisher actually does (ironically the only live-action version that seemed to capture Frank's tactical approach to punishment was the Thomas Jane iteration, but I have a serious soft spot for the Dolph Lundgren film, too).
